Applications
What brands use it for.
Used by brands building traditional cod-liver-oil products and combination formulas that draw on its naturally occurring vitamins A and D alongside EPA and DHA.
Differentiator
What sets it apart.
Unlike refined body oils, cod liver oil carries naturally occurring vitamins A and D. Total omega-3 is a minimum of 20%, with EPA at a minimum of 6% and DHA at a minimum of 7% in natural proportions.
Fatty-acid science
What the fatty acids support.
Heart function
EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function (EFSA authorised at 250 mg/day in the finished supplement, EU Reg. 432/2012).
Brain function
DHA contributes to maintenance of normal brain function at 250 mg/day (EU Reg. 432/2012).
Vision
DHA contributes to maintenance of normal vision at 250 mg/day (EU Reg. 432/2012).
Vitamin A & D
Cod liver oil is a natural source of vitamins A and D, supporting immune function and the maintenance of normal bone (EU Reg. 432/2012).
These reflect established research on the fatty acids the oil contains. Health claims on finished supplements are the brand owner's regulatory responsibility.
